The capitulation of Senate Democrats in ending the government shutdown without healthcare concessions has sparked outrage. Calls for new leadership and primary challenges are growing. The fight for a Democratic Party that truly fights back continues.

I feel like the better option would be to target the Republican party, since social inertia is gonna mean a few cycles of losing to whoever we don't destroy first. I don't wanna have to dismantle capitalism and christo-nationalism at the same time.

We replace it with a blue collar "libertarian" party that's just socialism with all the jargon replaced with country songs.

not if any attempts to oppose them are done via the “opposing party” you need the democrats to play progressive ball before anything meaningful can be done
